Our FeedbackThank you so much for my lovely apple tree, I ordered it Sunday and despite being the middle of the Christmas rush it arrived Wednesday. It's a wonderful healthy looking tree, I just hope I don't kill it. I will definitely be back to buy more items in the spring.Maxine Bolton, Cambridge

But the real boon of this variety comes with plants started in August - October time (either from seed or cuttings) - as these will produce nice compact plants around 12" - 18" (30 - 45 cm) tall that will happily grow in a 3 litre pot on your windowsill and produce a crop of tomatoes that we would describe as 'oversized cherry tomatoes'.

For conventional Summer production this bush plant will grow to around 3 - 4 feet (90 - 120 cm) tall and produce a heavy crop of fruits just a bit larger than a golf ball.

Fruit should be picked like any tomato when fully ripe for the flavour of tomatoes of the 1920-1930's, so many of which have now been lost from cultivation.

Children love a story about the pixies that live under these plants and that's how it got it's name - never seen one but not to say it's not true!

Bush Habit.

Open pollinated (heritage). (Originally and F1 hybrid but now de-hybridised and stabilised)

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation (though for Autumn / Winter crops protection is essential).
